Seaweed (marine algae) is potentially a huge source of innovation and progress in the fields of nutrition and biotechnologies. Scientists and businesses throughout Europe are currently discovering
(or rediscovering) this extraordinary natural raw material and developing new applications on a daily basis. By adapting the know-how of the Far East to European environmental conditions and species,
Aleor has developed new production methods and techniques, and can provide you with the know-how and the raw material that will enable you to develop new products with an immediate competitive
advantage. After land-based breeding and farming, then marine breeding, we are engaged in the fourth revolution, the seaweed farming revolution, based on quality, innovation, a service-oriented
business culture and sustainable development.

Our
vision

Aleor has a
clear vision of the algae industry's

near future.
The fourth revolution, the seaweed farming revolution, will give us access to the full range of organic matter production methods. We can then truly implement the green revolution, which will enable
mankind to produce all the resources we need for our well-being, while realizing their true value. Integrated co-production models, biorefineries, energy-, food- and drinking water-producing marine
platforms, reclaimed coastal fringes, fertilized deserts: all these future developments require ocean seaweed farming techniques to be perfected and developed throughout the
world.

Open
innovation

Socially
responsible,

fair and
circular economy

Aleor is
developing seaweed producer networks, both in sea-based and landbased contexts, wherever the local marine environment meets the right conditions, in terms of water quality and biodiversity and where
local aquaculture farmers are willing to take part. We work in partnership with local seashell farmers to develop seaweed farming on their shoreline concessions, along with their usual produce. We
contribute our expertise in plant breeding and farming techniques, then we process the seaweed produced according to Aleor's specifications, making sure that the producer receives a fair payment.
Seaweed farming generates social progress for coastal communities. Sustainable development and traceability Algae grow without needing fertilizers, pesticides or even drinking water. Aleor processes
seaweed in very much the same spirit, minimizing the use of energy and inputs. Aleor is developing a raw materials production process for industry, with stringent quality controls and full
traceability.

Organic
products

The innovative
process we have developed is pollution-free and fully compliant with "ORGANIC" farming principles, excluding the use of non biodegradable oxidants.

Preserving the algae's nutritional and organoleptic properties

Aleor has
developed a ground-breaking dehydration process, with low temperature drying at 40°C. This preserves all the algae's nutritional and organoleptic properties. This type of drying process entirely
preserves the macroalgae's nutritional value: fibres, minerals and proteins as well as vitamins (C, E, B12, B2, B3…). The antioxidant properties of the algal polyphenols and carotinoids are also
better preserved than in the traditional direct flame oven-drying techniques.

Food
algae ocean flavors

full of
ocean goodness

Edible algae
have long been part of the culinary traditions of coastal populations in China, Japan, Iceland….or Brittany, with the famous pioca or seaweed blancmange or as condiments. Even though algae are still
only rarely used in France, they are slowly creeping into master chef cuisine. They can also be found in organic and dietary product stores as condiments, soups, tartar sauces, pasta, etc. New
ocean-flavored products with Nori, Wakame, or Kombu can be introduced in oven-ready and other prepared dishes. A bit of imagination and a better knowledge of algae's benefits are all it takes to
develop the market. Aleor provides edible algae either as fresh produce or as algae flakes.

Our technical
support service will help you find the solutions you need, i.e. a product, information on the product and guarantees about its quality, and help on how to use it.

Applications second to none

in
nutrition and health,

cosmetics, parapharmacy and

pharmaceutical products

Our drying
process represents a significant advance in the development of sound, nutritionally adapted and health-enhancing products, preserving all the algae's natural goodness. We can supply controlled dried
raw matter with properties similar to those of fresh algae once rehydrated. Moreover, the water contained in seaweed is very pure, entirely produced by the plant and exempt of contaminants. Natural
algae water is an ideal medium for releasing high value-added nutrients, without the risk of negative interactions. Natural algae water is one of the key ingredients of Brit Inov's 2014 innovative
product. Our drying technology can be adapted to many other drying applications that require produce property preservation (e.g. in vegetables and other plants). Successful tests have been carried
out on sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum), which is widely used in cosmetics. Such products can be very effective in the parapharmaceutical and pharmaceutical fields.

Responsible aquaculture or

bioremediation applied to intensive aquaculture effluent

using
macroalgae

Macroalgae such
as Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are used in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture. This type of aquaculture combines intensive fish farming techniques (for fish, shrimps, etc.) with
species that extract dissolved inorganic matter such as algae and other species that extract organic matter particles, for instance, invertebrates such as mussels, oysters, sea urchins, etc. Through
this approach, aquaculture can be developed while remaining committed to balanced ecosystem management. This kind of combined approach, which is still under study, will allow us to meet the
ever-growing demand for environmentally farmed quality seafood products through a concept based on recycling and circular economy.

Marine
energies

The WinSeaFuel
project is part of the drive to develop marine energies, and is associated with the "offshore" wind farm project in northern France.
